Do you think its worth the extra cost of the pad Stevo ?
For me yes. I choose this as the main method of feeding and maintaining my system. The parameter and graph read outs are useful too, but you can do the same stuff with a pad I suppose.

I tried this, but soon ditched it as the data isn't refreshed, and times out to quickly, I did try one of the refresh apps but it never worked well, and there was a huge delay between pressing a feed button and anything happening... I wasn't happy and I still think it's a shortfall of GHL, but in the end I got a touch and I must admit it's a great bit of kit...Sorry if this is a daft question. Doe's anyone use a tablet mounted somewhere on their aquarium using wifi to control the P4 rather than the touch pad ?
Thanks

@stevo01 have you used their fluid monitoring stuff yet? I'm curious about how much of a PITA the metric to english thread conversions would be.
Are you speaking of the calibration fluids? Yes, I use them and you should also. I calibrate the probes using the metric scale and after calibration switch it over to standard.
No I mean like the flow monitoring pipes, ir to measure flow through the return line and reactors. They all seemed to be metric fittings.
I don't think you read my post correctly I was having problems with a tablet and switched to touch screenYou shouldnt be experiencing these problems with the touch screen. I dont have these problems myself.

@stevo01. Hi, thanks for this thread. Very informative. I am having several issues with my P4 and would really appreciate some help/guidance. I had setup a wifi connection with static IP. I must say that the connection via GCC was always sketchy, at best. Than, some 4 weeks ago, I was no longer able to connect via Wifi neither with GCC. I tried changing the configuration for Auto IP which caused further issues, as now I am completely unable to access even the connections window.
My guess is that I stopped having access with the release of the new update that came out a couple of weeks ago, which I did not know at the time.
My plan is the following:
1 - Delete the current WiFI connection in GCC
2 - Update to the new wifi firmware
3 - Redo the WiFi connection
Does this sound Ok?
Did this work for you?
I use the myGHL for maintenance work. I have not set up the touch screen yet but would use that for maintenance task's. The new Phone app will be out at the end of October.
HI Steve. My WiFi has a very strong signal across the house. I stream full HD Netflix anywhere without a glitch. My internet connection is for 120MB download, and over WiFi I get on average 40MB, which is good. Never had WiFi issues so I guess this is related to the P4.
